Can you pray the Office of Readings at night instead of in the morning? what day do you take it from?
 
Since the laity are really encouraged to pray the Morning and Evening and Night Prayer you are free to read the Office of Readings whenever you wish!

There are times set down by the Church for religious. Here they are:
Office of Readings 0200-0400 (0300)
Morning Prayer 0500-0800 (0600)
Mid-Morning Prayer 0830-1000 (0900)
Mid-Day Prayer 1130-1300 (Noon)
Mid-Afternoon Prayer 1430-1600 (1500)
Evening Prayer 1630-1900 (1800)
Night Prayer 1930-2230 (2000)

Hope that helps!!
 
You can pray the office of readings for say Tuesday can be recited at any time from Monday night (after Vespers for Monday) up until Compline for Tuesday.
 
Welcome to reading the Office! 🙂

Do you have a spiritual advisor or a formation director helping you?

Good luck and God Bless,

Wonderful to hear of people praying the Office or any part of Liturgy of the Hours. It is truely a prayer of the Universal Church. What a great feeling to know that the pope, all bishops, priests, deacons, and many lay people all over the world are offering the same prayers to God.
 
Funny that this thread started, because, after several years, I just returned to the Liturgy of the Hours. In fact, I just purchased the book for this season (too expensive to buy the 4 volume set all at once) this week!

The owner of the Catholic bookstore told me that she has seen a recent increase in purchases!
 
That’s cool!:dancing: I know it was something Pope JPII encouraged throughout the years. I haven’t heard Pope Benedict encourage it yet, but heck, he’s just getting started and I haven’t even read all his Papal homilies.

you can pray it any time, even after night prayer. until midnight, take it from that day. after midnight, the next day. Saturday evening after evening prayer take it from Sunday.
 
Actually, as has been posted above, if you’d like, in the evening, you can read from today or you can get ahead on tomorrow’s reading.
